The Secret Benefits of Criticism
Critics can sometimes provide erudite observations about you. And sometimes those observations help to clarify who you are and what your cause is. Listen to criticism, filter out what doesn’t apply to you and search for the golden nuggets within their statements.
I was recently criticized/accused of being “inspiration guy.” I have to admit, this critic made a very concise observation. “Inspiration guy” is exactly who I am. And though I don’t use this particular title, it fits me perfectly!
Sometimes a critic can really cut-to-the-chase and point out an authentic strength in you. There’s always something to learn, even from your critics.
But beware, critics are not trying to help you succeed. That’s what a life coach is for – contact me, I’d be happy to help you succeed.

Business Owner Fighting with Customer = Complete Waste of Time
This is when you need a life/business coach:
Years ago a business-owner friend of mine mentioned she had successfully “won” an email argument with a customer that was an asshole. The email exchange lasted for 4 hours. The upside: my business-owner friend felt vindicated. She couldn’t let it go, she “had” to put him in his place. The downside: she couldn’t let it go, she “had” to put him in his place.
She couldn’t walk away and let it go. She was so angry that she ended up wasting 4 hours of her life YELLING IN ALL CAPS! Those were 4 hours that should have been devoted to sales, marketing, employee training and managing her business. All because she couldn’t control her emotions – and she hated that she couldn’t control her emotions. Which pissed her off long after she had “won” the email battle.

Weight Loss, From A Friend’s Point Of View
A friend of mine just shared how she lost 90 pounds over the last 2-1/2 years – a very healthy pace. It was real, down-to-earth and just plain made sense. She included her high-school days, college days and masters program days – and how each chapter in her school life included less and less exercise and more and more fast food and soda.
She shared how minor depression and the lack of a network of friends during her 2-year masters program played quite a mental role that lead to negative eating/exercise habits. She also shared some of the positive triggers and information that got her back on track.
I’m looking forward to having her share her experience in further detail in a future post.
